44. GQ model? NO.
Vacuous model-type people with technically flawless faces and bodies are...kind of aesthetically pleasing, like a well-balanced Greek column or something, but totally forgettable scenery.

Imperfect but compelling people with distinctive, striking looks as well as brains, though.... :9


My dirty little secret is that I tend to get the hots for any male politician who speaks for me, eloquently and passionately. I like tall skinny dorky guys, I like older men, I like bookish nerds, I like idealists, I like rogues, I like dry wits.

So yes, Barack Obama is extremely attractive to me, and I'll physically enjoy voting for him (for the fourth time, I'm an ILan). But I also felt similarly about Kerry, and Gore, and B. Clinton. (I would've felt the same about H.Clinton were she the nominee, I'm not totally straight.)

But if you managed to come up with some Johnny Depp or Viggo Mortensen lookalike who was a right-winger, I would find them utterly unappealing. It's the WHOLE package that counts, and brains and soul and wit trump looks.
